Marsha’s Starfighter

Marsha’s Starfighter is a modern American variety that is part of the “Star Wars” breeding project. The plant, with indeterminate growth, is vigorous and develops strong stems that require good staking. It produces abundant large beefsteak-type fruits throughout the season. The tomatoes are round to slightly flattened, with a cherry red to reddish-brown base and dark purple to almost black anthocyanin shoulders. Depending on the conditions, olive green or brown streaks are sometimes observed, which enhance the metallic and “galactic” appearance of the variety. The flesh is firm, juicy, aromatic, with a rich flavor where sweetness combines with moderate acidity, making it an excellent tomato for both fresh eating and cooking. Highly productive, decorative, and unique, Marsha’s Starfighter fits perfectly into a thematic collection and is suitable for both rare variety enthusiasts and gardeners looking for a reliable and flavorful large anthocyanin fruit.
